Let’s Talk Muscle Health Miniseries (Part 5)
Over 80% of Australian GPs believe they should screen for sarcopenia, yet few currently do so -primarily due to limited access to tools or training.
In this episode, we discuss the Muscle Health Algorithm, a GP-friendly resource designed to help detect and manage poor muscle health before it leads to sarcopenia.
Learn how to perform the handgrip strength and five-times sit-to-stand tests, identify at-risk patients over 50, and confidently start interventions that maintain independence and quality of life in older Australians.
